Decoy silently observed his Wards as they discussed the nature of the mission, as well as potential scouting and entry methods. The hologram couldn't show the pride that the real Decoy felt over the situation. Even Elliott was playing nice for the moment, if in his own self aggrandizing way. Once there had been a small lull in the conversation, Decoy decided to jump in once more. [color=cyan]"You will have several hours to work on the fine details, Wards. It's only 4:52 and that rally isn't until later this night. Might I recommend getting in some practice with your new gear?"[/color]

Decoy gestured towards the holographic projection disks the Wards each now held in their hands. [color=cyan]"Practice throwing and sliding them, to get an idea of how you can disperse them in the field best. Study the different settings so that you can optimize them in a given situation. In due time, the mission will become your priority. For the moment, preparation is key, yes? I imagine that you, Margrave, will want to prepare your own equipment. And of course since this will be an official mission, instead of you all running off unprepared like last time, a squad of PRT troopers will be accompanying you. Messiah, the squad is ostensibly under your command, but their captain has the right to usurp control at any time he feels your judgment is compromised."[/color]

The hologram waves its hand, allowing a new projection to fill the room. This one was of an armored assault vehicle, along with four soldiers. The Wards would recognize these men and women if they had a keen eye around headquarters. [color=cyan]"The schematics to the warehouse as we understand it have been uploaded to your holo-communication modules. If you have any further questions, please ask me now. Otherwise, you had some time to kill."[/color]

[i]Blam! Zzzorp![/i] The gunshot and the taser went off simultaneously, incapacitating both front door guards without any troubles. The man Headhunter shot fell over bleeding and unconscious, but he wouldn't suffer any permanent damage. Headhunter's power made certain of that. Meanwhile the one getting tazed by Heartless convulsed and struggled for a couple seconds, but also lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Their guns tumbled off to the side, unattended. It wouldn't have taken Heartless and Thunderbolt more than a minute to tie them up well. There were even all these abandoned train cars and storage containers to hide the men. Really, the whole thing was terribly convenient.

It seemed that within only a moment, all outside guard forces had been dealt with. Were there any more inside? Possibly, but there wasn't any way to know that until they got in. That should be fairly easy enough to do. They were right in front of the front door, after all!  Of course if they fancied a more subtle approach, the Jacks could take the roof and enter through the skylights, dark and dramatic like Batman. Or they could circle round the back where the trains would have connected to the platform to load passengers and cargo. Really it was up to them.

"I think that we should definitely take up her offer," G4M3R announced to his team. "After all, what kind of heroes can ignore a cry for help? But I digress, we have a new potential client. Mr. Gabriel..." The Minutemen's leader gave pause, noting how odd it was that this man hadn't provided a last name. "We've certainly encountered the Rockers before. You could say that we're the reason they're on the run and it's what made our name, haha!" Yeah, he was definitely proud of that accomplishment, even if it was a bit exaggerated.

"I would love to target them, especially since we... Have unfinished business." Ah, now he was referring to how they'd failed to locate Wisp. It was clear this particular difficulty did not rest well in his mind. "In any case, the whole city is full of villains and criminal activity, and we have to take it out where we can find it. Why do you want us to focus on a relative group of nobodies so badly?"
